I am running 11.0 beta 3 on an ATV2 with iOS 5.1. Things work fine so far.
One of the things that I do not like is the seemingly unnecessary menu item / button press when starting XBMC .
Clicking on the xbmc icon on the ATV2 main menu brings up a screen tittled XBMC with one item xbmc - clicking on that then starts xbmc - is there a way to get rid of that unnecessary menu?
Thanks,
alex

Fair warning - someone had posted that the tomcool direct booter didn't work on iOS5.1.

@crawl: I don't seem to have made my point clear:
I do _not_ want to boot directly into XBMC, as I also want to be able to jump around between Netflix and/or some TV shows I subscribed to on iTunes, etc. on the ATV2 level and other stuff (mainly add-ons like hulu+, etc.) I want to watch via XBMC.
I just want to avoid the unnecessary step/menu, when firing up XBMC from the ATV2 menu - I don't even see a reason, why these additional and seemingly redundant menu/screen is even there.
To make it very clear: when pressing the xbmc icon on my ATV2's iOS 5.1 springboard main menu, I am expecting to see the xbmc splash screen and then land in XBMC's home page (depending on skin). Instead I get confronted with an ATV2 'menu' titled XBMC with one entry - also called XBMC - to click on. This is the menu/screen that I want to get rid of.
Thanks and Cheers,
alex

I haven't seen a way to do what you asked. Partly because I don't think you can launch the apps from that Top Level Menu.
However, I have seen a way to move the XBMC app so that it is nestled under any of the other Top Level category.

Currently, no way to do this.

Nothing we can do about it. Thats the way the jailbreak/beigelib allows us to be started on ios5.1. Its out of our scope and might even be out of the jb hackers scope...
